A blog that deals with the Adelaide to Melbourne main railway line, both in prototype and to modelling Horsham.

Ontrack 80 class

Ontrack models have announced that their next locomotive will be the NSW class 80. This loco is already available from Austrains, but it was their first RTR locomotive and the tooling must be close to 20 years old, and does not have any of the detail that is expected today. Generally I am not into the NSW locos, but as the 80's ran into Horsham during the 2012-13 period, so I might be interested in a QUBE and Greentrains livery.

Ontracks

According to information available, all the design work has been complete and tooling has commenced. 13 liveries, over five different car bodies. (Both QUBE and Greentrains livery is on their list, so it is highly likely that two will join the Horsham layout fleet).

About Me

Hello, and thanks for visiting my blog. Living in South Australia and modelling Victorian Railways at Horsham (in HO scale); about four hours plus away by road, is interesting.
I also enjoy the railways across the ditch in New Zealand, and modelling NZR in Sn 3 1/2.
Always on the lookout for information on modelling.
